Problems solved by technology

Problems and difficulties have been encountered in the method of making a weft hair extension.
Also, the sewing technique results in relatively thick double layers of stitching in order to make tight stitches which makes the hair extension heavy and this is a serious shortcoming of utilizing the sewing machine method of construction.

All of this has the effect of not only thickening the end product but rigid sizes the product so that it lacks flexibility. Also, comfort of wear is adversely affected and convenience in attaching the strip to the hair of the user is cumbersome.
